In the Limelight: Apple Recipes from Monin
Crisp, sweet, and unmistakably tied to the season, apples signal the arrival of fall—bringing thoughts of cozy baked goods, spiced ciders, and orchard-fresh flavors.
Beloved by 91% of consumers (Datassential), the apple is one of the world’s most popular fruits, with more than 7,500 varieties grown globally. Beyond its versatility behind the bar, apples also offer health benefits, rich in fiber and antioxidants that support heart, gut, and brain health. To showcase just how adaptable this ingredient can be in cocktails, Monin shares a lineup of recipes featuring everything from their Granny Smith Apple Purée to Classic Apple Syrup and comforting Caramel Apple Butter.
